Flow of the course

About this spot

A Japanese confectionery shop devoted to using Tokushima's finest ingredients, known for its refined sweets created from local treasures such as Awa brown sugar and Naruto sudachi citrus. The signature item is "Yuutama," an endearing agar confection that captures the essence of sudachi, yuzu, plum, and other flavors in small beads. The main shop features a tranquil tea room where you can slowly savor a set of seasonal premium confections paired with matcha tea. The gentle sweetness of Awa brown sugar that melts delicately is the perfect way to conclude a day's exploration of the castle town. Boxed confections also make wonderful souvenirs, allowing you to carry home the lingering charm of your historical walk.

Tips

For tea room use, arriving slightly before closing time is safer. Popular premium confections may sell out, so selecting souvenirs first before proceeding to the tea room ensures a smooth experience. Located near Tokushima Central Park with easy access back to the station.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour required. In the early evening after finishing your walk, savor the experience slowly during the shop's quieter hours.
